I was born in Mérida (Spain), an ancient city founded by the Roman Empire in 25 BC, in the time of Caesar Augustus. Mérida is located in the south west of Spain. The city became the capital of Lusitania province, and one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire. Mérida preserves more important ancient Roman monuments than any other city in Spain. Currently I am based in Seville (Spain), a very beautiful southern city full of History.
I received my Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from the University of Seville, where I am a Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics. Currently, I am teaching Numerical Analysis, making use of MATLAB, a high-level technical computing language. Click here to access six Numerical Analysis lessons (in Spanish).
Spiritual search has been one of my most important characteristics throughout my life. The core of my spiritual life lies on the center of an equilateral triangle whose vertices are Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism. When, years ago, I read in a book written by the Jesuit priest and Zen master Arul M. Arokiasamy that the author feels Christian, Hindu and Buddhist, I evoked something very familiar, because I have felt the same throughout most of my existence.
My website contains only black & white pictures. Currently, Adobe Lightroom Classic is my favorite raw converter. It renders impressive and natural color images. For creating black and white photographies, I use Nik Software’s conversion plug-in Silver Efex Pro, that delivers outstanding conversions to black and white.
